Saturday Sport

Unfortunately, it was another wet weekend for IPSHA and Year 3 sport, so all primary games were cancelled on Saturday. A reminder cancellations for Saturday sport will be made in Clipboard as soon as possible. A reminder there is no IPSHA or Year 3 sport on Saturday 16 August due to the SCEGGS mid-term break.

Term 4 Sport

Activity Selection for Term 4 Sport is currently open in Clipboard.

To assist in the planning of all Sport for Term 4, we ask that parents / carers sit down with students to submit the online form by Friday 15 August.

Students Achievements:

Congratulations to all SCEGGS students who participated in last weekend’s City to Surf. It was wonderful to hear of so many girls pushing themselves especially given the wet conditions. Special mention to Clementine Finlayson (Year 6) who completed the 14km course in a time of 1.03 which placed her 4^th in the female 10-14 category and only 21seconds from 2nd place. Below is a photo of Annabel Ling, Charlotte Nixon and Anastasia Atgemis (Year 6) who completed the course and still had a smile on their face at the end. Well done girls and all participants!

Snowsports

Good luck to the SCEGGS Snowsports team and all the primary girls competing at the NSW Interschools Snowsports competition to be held at Perisher next week. SCEGGS has 22 students competing. We look forward to hearing how you go in your respective events.

SCEGGS Co-curricular Commitment Policy

Regular physical activity is an essential part of promoting positive health and well-being. Building relationships, fostering sportsmanship and teamwork is another element to co-curricular sport. We expect full commitment to all co-curricular sporting activities at SCEGGS. Students should be respectful of the impact that any absence has on team sport: their teammates, the opposition, the coach, and the reputation of the school.

Students are expected to be fully committed and attend all scheduled training sessions, trials and matches.

All absences must be communicated to the PDHPE Department using the following guidelines:

• Parents and guardians are to request written permission for leave from Ms Allum (Secondary) or Mrs Dempsey (Primary) at least a week in advance from a sporting fixture or Saturday trial
• If a student is sick on a Saturday, a parent/guardian must email or message the relevant coach and Sport Coordinator, or Director of Sport, prior to the match explaining the absence.
• If a student is unable to attend a weekday training or trial session, the student, or a parent, is to notify the relevant Sports Co-ordinator as soon as possible on the day.
• In case of a clash with school co-curricular activities e.g. Musicale, Sports Training, Duke of Ed Hike, the student is to liaise with both Co-ordinators to negotiate an acceptable outcome.
